BILLY CURRINGTON IS ‘HAPPY’ ABOUT HIS NEW ALBUM. (AUDIO)

Billy Currington is just a few days away from releasing his brand new album, We Are Tonight. The collection of 10 songs, including his Top 10 smash “Hey Girl,” is a project designed to put smiles on people’s faces. “I’m hoping that by the end of the day when they’re done listening to it, that they feel a sense of joy and peace and everything that I felt while we were making the album,” says Billy. “I have 10 songs on there, and they’re all, to me, happy songs. Back when we were recording the album, I had one that was kind of a sad song, a broken-heart song, and listening to the album, that was the one thing that threw me off, personally, about the album. I couldn’t get through the rest of it after I heard that one sad song. It just didn’t fit for me. So, I ejected that song and added ‘Hallelujah’ to it, which made for ten happy songs.”

We Are Tonight, which also features a duet with the legendary Willie Nelson on “Hard to Be a Hippie,” arrives in stores and online Tuesday (September 17th).

And now I have a peace and a sense of happiness when I listen to the whole project, and I’m hoping everyone that hears it walks away with the same feelings.”
